I'd be really jealous if it had a turbo button and display. I picked up one of these Techmedia NOS AT cases a few years ago, and like this one, it also has no turbo display. Built really well though.

Weirdly it has a cable for a turbo light “but no turbo button spot”

Some motherboards let you switch between turbo and normal with a key combination.

I can taste the blood of the cuts that case will give you when you pop some metal protector, specially the lower 3.5" !

I just travelled 32 years in time ... thanks !

You use your hands for that? You're meant to ruthlessly stab at it with a screwdriver and then twist off the remaining connection.

..and then cut your finger on the remnant nub only when you put the drives into the bays.

Oh that's marvelous. Loving that input/output power supply. That's a throwback.

[-]

Just_to_rebut@reddit

What would the output be used for?

[-]

MelinaSeeDee@reddit

It's an old way to control a peripheral, usually a monitor. That way you only have one thing to power on/off.

Nice five bay. I had a 7 bay piece of furniture. It was glorious. The bulk can deaden the fan (and disc) noise. Plenty of room for creative mods. Have fun.
